Yes, Prime Minister....

It strikes me that the last of Tony Blair's official portraits bares a striking resemblance to Jim Hacker from 'Yes, Prime Minister'






Which gives me the opportunity for a clip from Yes, Prime Minister.

Branding pitfalls...

Read how implementing a new logo could go ever so slightly wrong

A spokesman for OGC said: "It is true that it caused a few titters among some staff when viewed on its side, but on consideration we concluded that the effect was generic to the particular combination of the letters OGC - and it is not inappropriate to an organisation that’s looking to have a firm grip on Government spend."

Conversations in Thailand!!!!

The Island Boy is headed to Bali for a few years of work and slavery...one island to another... before he starts his new job he will be dropping by Bangkok for a few days...and would like to see some 'local sights'....this morning's conversation went a little like this...

Me: "So what would you like to see whilst you're here?"
Island Boy: "hmmm, the elephants, the floating market...."
Me: "Anything else?"
IB: "hmmm, oh yes, I'd like to do the Thai Girls"..
Me: "I'm sorry...you want to do what with the Thai Girls?"
IB: "Just go and see them...maybe pet them if allowed"
Me: "Well I guess Soi Cowboy's on the agenda then, but I'm not really that keen on you petting Thai Girls"
IB: "Not Thai Girls.....(insert here a rather dodgy sounding roar)....TIGERS"
Me: "Oh...yes, I guess that does make more sense"

Anyway...my final point on this...is, if the Island Boy is frightened of petting this....



How the hell will he be able to pet this?........
